    1. PACE descendants from Pee Dee area
    2. JOANNE HARLEY
    3. I am a PACE descendant from the Pee Dee (Marlboro Co., Robeson Co.,NC)... supposedly down from George, but there is something of a question now as to whether it was George Pace or his brother , James Pace that I am descended from. Despite that... I ordered a book on the PACE family, "OUR COLONIAL ANCESTORS" by Bruce A. Howard. The book takes the family back to Jamestown.. to their arrival about 1619. Mr. Howard's book is very detailed and can be ordered from him at : Mr. Bruce A. Howard, P.O. Box 414, Quitman, Mississippi 39355. He probably has a few copies left. I am descended from a Mary Pace, wife of Jacob Alford of Robeson Co., NC, and thru their daughter Margaret Catherine Alford , who moved down to Bennettsville, SC after her mom died, & married into the MacLeod family of Marlboro Co., SC.. Most historians declared Mary a daughter of George Pace and his wife, Obedience Worsham, but Mr. Howard says after extensive research... he thinks George's daughter Mary was too old to be the wife of Jacob Alford.and that Mary is more likely to be the daughter of George's younger (?) brother James Pace.There is a document that shows that James had 3 children and the known children were James and William (leaving one unknown child).
